This database is made possible by your state's fiscal support of the Education Commission of the States (ECS). Most entries are legislative, although rules/regulations and executive orders that make substantive changes are included. Every effort is made to collect the latest available version of policies; in some instances, recent changes might not be reflected. For expediency purposes minimal attention has been paid to style (capitalization, punctuation) and format.

Authorizes performance contracts between the state and institutions of higher education. The legislature finds that ten years have passed since the state attempted to redefine the relationship with its institutions of higher education based on trust, evidence, and a new alignment of responsibilities, as articulated in chapter 363, Laws of 1993. However, the legislature also finds that the intent to combine institutional flexibility and authority to make decisions at the local level with accountability for achieving statewide goals and objectives has never been fully achieved, in part because there has not been an operating mechanism through which to implement this relationship. (3) Therefore, the legislature intends to explore opportunities to create performance contracts between the state and public institutions of higher education. It is the intent of the legislature that such a contract would constitute a negotiated agreement between the state and an institution, where the state's primary interest would lie not in the management and operations of an institution, but in the institution's contribution to achieving agreed-upon statewide goals and objectives for higher education. Establishes a new section on higher education performance contracts. http://www.leg.wa.gov/pub/billinfo/2003-04/House/2100-2124/2111-s_pl.pdf Title: H.B. 2111 Source: http://www.leg.wa.gov NM Signed into law 04/2003 Postsec.
